Savor Portugal Safely: Your Low-Tyramine Guide to Tascas

Craving authentic Portuguese flavors but navigating a low-tyramine diet? Traditional tascas (cozy Portuguese taverns) pose hidden challenges with aged cheeses, cured meats, and fermented ingredients that can trigger reactions. The mm food app transforms your dining experience, making Portugal's rich culinary heritage accessible and safe.

Why Tascas Demand Extra Caution: Iconic dishes like queijo da Serra (aged sheep cheese), chouriço sausages, alheira smoked sausages, cured bacalhau (cod), sardines in olive oil, and wines/beers often contain high-tyramine ingredients. Even sauces like molho de vinho (wine sauce) may pose risks.

How mm food Empires Your Tasca Visit:

1. Instant Menu Translation: Snap a photo of any Portuguese menu—mm food translates it to your language in seconds.
2. AI-Powered Tyramine Screening: Input "low-tyramine" restrictions (or customize them). Our AI cross-references dishes against medical guidelines, flagging hidden risks in marinades, broths, or aged components.
3. Safe Dish Recommendations: Get real-time suggestions like:
   • Açorda (herb bread soup) without chorizo
   • Grilled fresh fish (e.g., robalo/sea bass) with lemon
   • Salada de polvo (octopus salad) with vinegar-free dressing
   • Fresh fruit desserts (avoiding port wine-soaked options)

Pro Tips for Tasca Success:

• Use mm food’s "Custom Alert" to flag vinho do Porto, smoked meats, or pickled items.
• Check fermented sauces (piri-piri or molho cru) via the app’s ingredient analysis.
• Save "safe" dishes to your profile for future visits.

With mm food, embrace Portugal’s soul-warming tasca culture confidently—where tradition meets dietary safety.
